- Hi,

- I am having difficulty with floating point precesion within a Borlamd C++
- 4.5. Borland uses the international IEEE format to provide it's floating
- point arithmetic but failed to supply any documentation aa what it
- actually is. I was hoping someone may be able to help me with the
- bit/byte layout of this standard ?

- Many thanks
